She died giving birth to Andrew according to Cora and this is confirmed by the church book. Andrew’s obituary says that Claus and Kari adopted him when he was one day old. Andrew is not listed with the rest of the family unit in the 1870 U.S. census. Nor is he listed with the rest of the family in the 1910 census. The 23 Apr 1890 edition of the Vernon County Censor describes an injury that occurred during a drilling operation on the Ole Lewison farm. “… a young man named Andrew Bowe had his right hand caught and frightfully crushed in the cog wheels. He was brought to this city and the wound was dressed by Dr. Gott who amputated one finger and thinks it may be necessary to remove more of them.” Andrew never married. He is shown in the 1920 census living with Louise in Viroqua. According to the 1920 census, was naturalized in 1890. May have emigrated in 1870 but the date is illegible. Shown as age 54 in the 1920 census which suggests birth ca 1865. According to the 1930 census, emigrated in 1874.
